Cost isn’t the only factor. After 75 years you will have a lot of sediment. That stuff will be the consistency of pudding that neither a dozer or track hoe can do much with. It can take years of drought for that stuff to dry out. Your area isn’t known for droughts. Best bet might be to break the dam to let it out. Then, with a really experienced dam builder fix the dam by knitting new and old soils together.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
